Excerpt from Tsimshian Texts Possibly the method of transcribing sounds is not quite satisfactory. I have not been able to determine definitely if there are one or two palatized ps. I consider it probable that there may be two; but in the present texts all the palatized 1's are rendered by one character. There is also a certain inconsistency in my perception of the surds and sonants, the fortis, or the surd followed by a hiatus, very often sound ing similar to the sonant. I have not endeavored to make the spelling throughout consistent, but have rather followed the transcription which seemed to me most appropriate at the time when I wrote the texts down.
